Description

This is an automatically translated text.
This tactile clock for the blind from the renowned Swiss manufacturer arsa (Auguste Reymond) is rarely found. The glass cover can be flipped up, so that the time can be well tactile. The hands are made of sturdy steel and the time indexes are made of precious stones. The watch case is gold plated. The inner workings of this watch are a proven Swiss eta movement. The bracelet was replaced with a new lizard leather strap.
The manufactory was founded in 1898 by Auguste Reymond and operated under the name "Fabirique d'Horlogerie Auguste Reymond". The manufactory produced watches in sizes from 5 to 22" with cylinder as well as pallet anchor movements. By 1910, more than 100 employees worked for the company, which was awarded a gold medal at the 1914 World's Fair in Brussels and at the National Exhibition in Berlin.
In 1919 Reymond launched the "Unitas" brand. This brand stood for an own ebauche factory, which operated under the name "Unitas Watch Co.". Initially, this company produced men's pocket watch movements of particularly high quality, which were sold very successfully to other companies. Later, the brand made a name for itself with particularly flat movements, which were ennobled with an observatory certificate.
In 1921, Auguste Reymond launched the "Arsa" brand. Production increased to over 200000 watches in 1923.
Due to the stock market crash in 1929, the company was split up. The Ebauche factory "Unitas" went to the "Ebauche s.a" in 1932. It was transferred to "asuag" in the 1940s, which was merged into smh. In 1983, the raw material production was abandoned and the name `Unitas` was cancelled.
"Arsa" continued to exist as a finished watch manufacturer, using mainly "Unitas movements". In 1939, it exhibited at the National Exhibition in Zurich. Well known models were `Springmaster`
(jumping second) and "Alertic" (wrist alarm). Very well known was also the Arsamatic, a fast oscillator with 36000 a/h. In the late 70's, the company was liquidated due to the quartz crisis. In 1989, the rights to the name "Auguste Reymond" were bought by the family business "Nitella Watch Ltd" and the brand "Arsa" was relaunched.
This watch is delivered in a watch box.
